True, and if someone wanted to write a scene translator for it that probably wouldn't be to difficult, considering the savings in software licences. I think that theoretically a large studio could adopt the blender codebase, tailor it for real production use, and release it back to the community. Pixar for instance use an in-house app, cant remember it's name, that they developed from scratch, and i think if a studio was looking to do something that, Blender would be a very good start. Open source and free software seem to have their best chances in the film/animation/FX community out of all technology sectors (apart from web perhaps).
I prefer it to max also, but max seems to be more or less an artifact that hangs around because people know how to use it. Maya, Xsi and Houdini on the other hand, win hands down.
Houdini seems to be where its heading, which is good because its a nice multiplatform app. the reason why Max and Blender suck for is that they lack a proper node interface (thin matlab).
I think the reason why blender is used infrequently is more to do with lack of support for the nice proprietary renders everyone uses, IE it doesn't export.mi (mental images mental ray) or.rib (pixar's renderman).
Kucinich (the candidate supported by the creator of the image) is the Ron Paul of the left, it's not that he's more liberal, he's just a bit of a free-thinker. I like to think of him as Chomskyish in his views.
All of the mentions leave out time as a dimension, if I where to graph "sound" (a single channel, and as a piece of data, not as it propagates through space), I would need two dimensions: time and amplitude.
In actual fact i cant think of a situation where a single dimension can hold anything but a single value.
I think he was very careful in his wording not to bash them, but it's just a fact of life that serving in the lower ranks of the military requires the lowest standards of education out of almost any job. (the police are the same here too)
Although i would say that most of the soldiers here (NZ) would have a standard of literacy high enough to provide each other with useful written intelligence.
or just a.righty and.lefty, although all the righty's will turn up in the lefty sites and complain of systemic liberal bias, much as the situation is here.
and and not to forget.ahole for limited governmenters and anarchists such as myself.
You are a pig-ignorant cunt-of-a-trogolodyte mate. (just a rebuttal on behalf of the generation that gives a shit about something known as "reality")
The fact of the matter, is that we have this stupid situation where there is an artifice known as a "corporation" these don't have morals because they are not human, yet the humans that run them are not liable for the actions of the corporation.
The only possible solutions are to either regulate them or to remove the limited liability.
So far all major legislators have chosen the first, because of some ignoble reason like "not wanting to scare off investors", or likely persuaded by some astroturfists.
So now we have this situation where we need to make a second set of laws to address these amoral entities. (notice the word amoral is not immoral (a rock is amoral Hitler was Immoral))
This fancy legislation works by rewarding those that our Govt. thinks are good for the country and punishing those who they think are doing bad
Recently people (and more recently legislators) have realized that in fact, unless they are encouraged otherwise, corporations will not dispose of their waste in a responsible manner, because its not cheap enough
Yes perhaps "lowest bidder" is oversimplification to you, but "lowest total cost over ownership" works doesn't it? If you RTFA, you will discover that the contract was in fact never tendered at all, so that minor point is irrelevant.
regardless of any of that the government must manage its finances in a transparent manner, in order to assuage suspicions of insider trading and the like, was the person you arranged this deal a Microsoft shareholder?
Im a windows user currently, but it seems that a government not tendering its contract to the lowest bidder means it's swiss taxpayers who are the real losers here.
It stinks of corruption, and its just not how you do business in the public sector.
yea except military medals are given for acts of heroic bravery or bloodthirstiness or whatever, points are given to you for being a fat-ass who plays xbox all day.
guess which one gets you laid, gets you a job, or gets you any kind of real world respect? point is, having an xbox Ego currently is worth much to your real-life one.
so are you implying that those who deny the holocaust are correct, and the use of the word in that context is "verbal trickery to influence opinion"?
Could it be that in both instances the word is used to apply due weight to pseudoscientific beliefs?
from wiktionary:
denialism
etymology: from denial + -ism.
Noun
denialism (plural denialisms)
describes the position of those who reject propositions that are strongly supported by scientific or historical evidence and seek to influence policy processes and outcomes accordingly
At this point Rudd confronts a new denialism. Just as John Howard was wrong to deny the confessional value of the apology, many Laborites are wrong to deny the abject failures of past generation policies. â" Paul Kelly, Editor-at-large, The Australian, February 16, 2008
but, it kind of works doesn't it?
I would consider it superior if the genetic material has the same age as you, it seems to me that in the case of cloned organ donors, this would actually reduce the chances of rejection if that were the case?
i don't actually know much about it, but it seems logical to me.

The foot-pound force, or simply foot-pound (symbol: ftÂlbf or ftÂlb) is a unit of work or energy (a scalar) and also a unit of torque (a vector).
freetard? and why not hate Microsoft, we have every reason to.

Flickr thinks it's cool.

Fixed that for you
Actually I don't see your point..

and flickr has plenty of Obama ones.
I really doubt the censorship was for political reasons. Why would Jerry Yang and Co wish to pay more tax?
seen FOX news lately?

oh, and you only ever drive on toll roads aye ? cos otherwise that would be theft...

(hopefully)Some legislators determined that to encourage corporate responsibility, sanctions needed to be applied.

usually the material is "dead" if thats the correct word, but yes this still counts as a vaccine

So 300 pounds is within that range, and your point is?
